The Alpine A108 was publicly presented at the 1959 Paris Auto Salon, succeeding to the A106 model. Aesthetically, it was actually more similar to its successor, the A110, than to the A106. This car keeps on making use of engines and components from Renault.

An A108 cabriolet version was built for short period; however, that would be the sole cabriolet from the Alpine range and none other was ever built.

At the end of the A108 production ran, 236 cars of that model were built.
